Sunday, July 28-- Day of Leisure, Rain, & Pizza

We had to wake Sophie up again this morning. But, we are not complaining. Dustin and I are able to get our showers in and are able to get ready for the day. We woke Sophie up and she was all smiles. I guess she is getting use to waking up to us being here. She is starting to get the hang our of routine, because she knew it was time to go eat breakfast. She was all smiles all the way  to the buffet, she practically ran to the buffet. She does well sitting in a high chair, some of the adopted children don't like it and they sit in their parents' laps. I am glad she likes it, because she is a messy eater. Breakfast is becoming my favorite part of the day because we get to see more adults, English speaking ones that are going through the same thing we are and the food is great, too. This is about the only time we get to see the families from the other provinces, it is good catching up.

After breakfast, we came back to skype the families. The novelty of skype is starting to wear off of Sophie, she is not too interest in it as she once was. But, we still can get her to say "hey" and "bye" to them. David Ryan was a little ill (sleepy) when we skyped him. I asked him what he wanted us to bring him home. He said "Sophie." I don't know what to think about him. He seems jealous over skype then he says things like that.

Before lunch, we went down to the playground area. Don't worry, I sprayed Sophie down with OFF. We tried getting her on the playground set, but she wouldn't do it. I even slide to get her interested, but she still didn't want to do it. So, we walked around the scenic area. She liked watching the waterfall, we even took some pictures by the waterfall. Then, there were two adoptive families out there playing so she stood and watched them play for a few minutes. We decided to show her the pool since she loves the bathtub. She seemed very interested, but didn't try to get in the pool. One of the families from our "quarantined group" was there. Their son who is six was having a blast, but his new little sister didn't seem to like it. She just sat on the edge and watched her brother. Sophie watched the people swim in the pool, too. We talked with the family for a little while, then it started pouring down raining. Back to being quarantined in our room. By this time, it was lunch time. Since it was pouring, my lovely husband decided to go next door for us to get McDonald's. Every time Dustin comes in the room with food, she gets so excited.

Then, it was nap time. Nap time is going better, she even throw a fit today. For the most part today, we were stuck in the hotel room watching movies on HBO (thank goodness the TV has English channels). Sophie watched most of the Disney movie "Meet the Robinsons," this movie is about a little boy who lives in an orphanage and wants to be adopted (how appropriate). I got Sophie to play with her baby doll for 5 minutes. I don't know why the paperwork from the orphanage said she liked dolls. I hope by Christmas, she likes dolls or I have already wasted some money.

Since it was still raining, we decided to order Papa John's pizza for supper. It has been a long time since we have had pizza. The last time was at our fundraiser for Sophie at Lost Pizza Co. And it has really been a long time since we have had Papa John's. It took about an hour and a half for it to get here though, but it was delicious. Sophie had her first pizza tonight, and she liked it. Again, there hasn't been anything that this girl doesn't like to eat. She also saved her pizza crust to dip in the sauce just like her daddy did. As I was writing this, one of our agency guides called to remind us about the medical check tomorrow (please pray that we get clearance to come home as scheduled). Also, that one of us only needs to go that way that wont have to take a van only a taxi since there is another child and mother going. So, I guess it will be Sophie and me tomorrow. Dustin will get to explore, I guess. Also, planned for tomorrow is a baby blessing (nothing that interferes with our religion) at 2:30. Our guide felt that all that we (the quarantined group) have been through we could use a little blessing- lol.

I am not 100% feeling better, but I am getting there. Sophie isn't still answering to "Sophie" , we have to call her Weina Sophie to get her attention. Then, we will eventually drop the Weina. Again, there wasn't that much to write about since we were stuck in our hotel room today, but hopefully tomorrow will be more eventful, but not too eventful at the medical clinic. We want that part of the day to go smoothly.

I am going to get off her to get this girly in the bath and ready for bed. We have a very important day tomorrow. Wish us luck tomorrow!
